Coaching

Awareness → Exploration → Results.

For entrepreneurs, startup executives, and purpose-driven individuals who want to create deep, meaningful shifts in their lives: I offer coaching designed for your reality, delivered by someone who has genuinely walked the startup path, many times over.

You might be struggling with…

  • Feeling the weight of the founder's lonely journey, or friction with co-founders.
  • Unsure how to bring your exec team onboard with your vision in an uncertain reality.
  • Striving to lead with authenticity and confidence during pivots or heightened uncertainty.
  • Evolving from manager to leader, or from engineer to business leader — and feeling out of place.

A partner who's been there.

  • ~25 years of hands-on leadership and startup experience — through the highs and the lows.
  • Balancing creativity (there is no box to think outside of) with pragmatism (what can be achieved now).
  • Empathy, awareness and relational contact in the here-and-now spirit of Gestalt Psychology.
  • A commitment to lasting change — the goal of change is to become more you.

My coaching approach

The Gestalt coaching approach is experiential, existential, and experimental. It is a transformational method that focuses on understanding your experience to help you navigate work and life more fluidly. We focus our dialogue on the present moment, prioritising full self-awareness and self-responsibility. Our aim will be to help you become MORE you but in a deep, aligned yet practical sense, rather than simply seeking tactical, step-by-step action plans.

Non-Violent Communication in a coaching lens is a compassionate framework that helps clients look beyond judgments, friction, and blame to uncover their core emotions and needs - and then choose strategies that can help them fulfil those needs while working through potential conflict.

How we'd work together

We start with a chemistry call to figure out what you're really trying to achieve. From there we co-design a framework that fits your reality — the length of the engagement, rhythm of sessions, and level of asynchronous support between them. Sessions happen via video call, wherever you are on the planet. From awareness, through exploration, to results.

Client stories

“A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.”

Mike, a senior consultant, wanted to tackle perfectionism as he aimed for exec leadership. When his firm hit an existential crisis, we shifted focus from corporate profile to navigating extreme uncertainty — anchoring in habits that fostered reflection and calm. Instead of freezing, Mike led with genuine clarity.

“When present-you becomes a victim of past-you's success.”

Alex, a successful SaaS founder, felt paralysed launching a new venture. We surfaced a conflict between her 'inner artist' and 'inner manager' — and how her previous exit cast a long shadow. Reconciling these voices moved her from procrastination to shipping her MVP.

“Managing what is, not what might be.”

George, a caretaker-GM parachuted into a scaleup, felt ineffective and stuck. We uncovered self-consciousness about age, background, and an unclear runway — and identified the value of here-and-now leadership. He got closer to the team and considered staying long term.

“Wherever you go, there you are.”

James, a former founder turned scaleup operator, felt like an imposter facing promotion. We used Narrative Coaching to reframe his belief that exec leaders had to be 'fake' — and helped him step into the role with his authentic, entrepreneurial style.
